IMF PortWatch daily transit calls through the Strait of Hormuz (chokepoint6), estimated from AIS ship-position signals; ships that switch AIS off are not counted. One icon = one transit call. Icons are a count, not positions: no map, no ship is placed anywhere. Days with no PortWatch reading are shown as gaps, never as zero. Latest reading: Oct 11, 2026.
